School Failures

On the English Answer Man blog, there is a post about who is to blame for school failures across the nation: students or teachers? I believe that everyone is to blame. Both groups are not doing the requirements to succeed
For one, students are to blame because they are not passing tests and not doing homework that make up their grades. These grades tell if a school is passing or not. Instead of doing the work, many kids continue to play video games, fix their appearance, or other stuff. This puts blame also on parents, who don't force their kids to put school as an important priority. Instead, they let them do anything they want.
Teachers and principals are also to blame they are a big reason why kids are not doing well. Many teachers and principals have rules and have a lot of homework and tests on the kids, feeling that this will have a better impact on them, and help them succeed. However, it's doing the opposite. This makes kids hate school instead, and this resentment adds on to student and school failure.
Overall, I believe that everyone is to blame. The only problem I have is that teachers are blaming us kids that it's our fault when they are partly responsible too. At school they teach not point fingers, but look at what they are doing now: pointing the finger at us
